"My darling daughter, why haven't you come back yet? We have guests over at the house."

The call was from Mother-in-law Li Cuilan, her tone brimming with excitement.

"I… am out eating."

Xu Yunxiao said.

"Perfect, we're going out to eat too. Which restaurant are you at? We'll come over right now."

Li Cuilan said.

Xu Yunxiao was very troubled.

After all, this was a lovers' restaurant, her own little world with Qin Feng, and she did not want to be disturbed.

"Hurry up and tell me, your Third Uncle is here."

Li Cuilan urged.

Seeing that she was having difficulty, Qin Feng said, "It's okay. It wouldn't be nice to hide away when relatives come by."

Hearing this, Xu Yunxiao was moved and said, "Thank you."

"You're being too polite. Aren't we husband and wife?"

Qin Feng said with an embarrassed laugh.

Xu Yunxiao also gave a smile and then sent the address to Li Cuilan.

"Qin Feng, you're really nice."

She said with a laugh.

"I've said before, if you're well, I'm well," Qin Feng said as he added a piece of Braised Pork Belly to her plate, "But we should make it clear, it's fine if someone interrupts our meal, but when it comes to sleeping at night, I really don't want any disturbances."

"You naughty thing…"

Xu Yunxiao's face turned red as she instinctively looked nervously around and said softly, "There are so many people around, why are you saying such things, really."

"I didn't say anything though! I was just expressing my desire to sleep well without interruptions." Qin Feng teased intentionally, "Wife, perhaps it's you who's thinking too much?"

"I'm not talking to you!"

Xu Yunxiao gave him an annoyed glance, her cheeks blushing as she slowly said, "Originally, seeing how anxious you were this morning, I wanted to satisfy your wish tonight, but seeing as you've upset me now, the plan has to be postponed."

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, then pleaded with a bitter face, "Don't be like that! Wife, I know I was wrong, okay…"

"No way, it's your fault for deliberately annoying me." Xu Yunxiao continued, "Originally I thought I'd fulfill your wish when you're shining bright, to give you some motivation. It's just that you often look so pitiful that sometimes I can't help but want to satisfy you. But now I've changed my mind, I'll stick to the original plan and wait until you're shining bright."

"..."

Qin Feng felt embarrassed and asked, "So what counts as 'shining bright'?"

"Well..."

Xu Yunxiao tilted her head, thought for a bit, and said, "Considering that you're currently working in a hotel, starting from a not-so-high point, I won't set the bar that high either. You just need to reach the Peak of Lake City, to become the 'First Person of Lake City,' how about that? Fair enough?"

After saying that,

she gave Qin Feng a mischievous smile.

Become the First Person of Lake City?

It seemed impossible just thinking about it.

She didn't hold much hope, it was just her way of teasing him, a little "revenge."

Unexpectedly,

Qin Feng looked extremely embarrassed and said, "Cough, you scared me. I thought you meant standing on top of the world. Just standing at the Peak of Lake City? That's a piece of cake."

"You're bragging again!"

Xu Yunxiao pouted; she was very dissatisfied with his tendency to boast. "Let me tell you, don't get cocky just because things are getting better for you, you need to stay humble, understand?"

"But, isn't that what everyone says online?"

Qin Feng said with a wry smile.

Back when he was in East Sea, his identity as the behind-the-scenes owner of Fengyun Group was revealed by Bai, a competitor for the inheritance of Heavenly King Mountain.

Yet Xu Yunxiao still didn't believe it.

"Pfft, everyone knows that's just people trying to smear Luo Hongyan by elevating your status to create public opinion. You might fool others, but you can't fool me!"

Xu Yunxiao said.

"..."

Qin Feng was completely helpless and said, "Then how will you believe me?"

"That's simple, you can prove it by reaching the highest place in Lake City." Xu Yunxiao pointed to the window outside, towards the Emperor Villa on Cloud Peak Villa District, and said, "In Lake City, or even the whole Hanjiang Province, it's said that only the First Person of Lake City deserves to own that villa. Can you get in?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng was inwardly amused and said to her, "Then let's make a deal, if I can get in, you'll fulfill my wish unconditionally, how about that?"

"And if you can't get in?"

Xu Yunxiao retorted.

"If I can't get in, then I will never have that kind of desire forever, okay?"

Qin Feng said with a smile.

How could he possibly not get in?

What a joke!

At this moment, Xu Yunxiao was somewhat regretting making a bet with Qin Feng.

Not because she feared Qin Feng would accomplish it.

But because she feared if he couldn't do it, then he would truly no longer have those kinds of thoughts about her, then what would she do?

Right at that moment.

The elevator door dinged.

The receptionist was bringing Li Cuilan, Xu Guosheng, Xu Yunxiao's Third Uncle, and his top disciple Xu Menghui to this place.

When they came in, they too were startled by the over a hundred exclusive servers.

Looking at the luxury around, it was like entering the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, dazzling everywhere.

"To think that in Little Lake City, there would be such a place, not bad, not bad."

The Third Uncle put his hands behind his back, showing his satisfaction with the environment.

He was a martial artist.

He ran a martial arts school in the south. Thereference

But it was just ordinary martial arts; he was an Inner Strength Martial Disciple.

If not involving the Hidden World.

In the Mortal World, an Inner Strength Martial Disciple was quite impressive, just like the previously well-known Fang Wudi.

He had made a considerable sum of money from his martial arts school over the years.

As the saying goes.

When poor, no one asks about you in a turmoil; but rich, even distant relatives from deep in the mountains will seek connection.

In the past, he didn't even think much of Xu Yunxiao and her family, and the two families hardly interacted.

Now that he'd learned that Xu Yunxiao's development was getting better and better.

Especially since she had a deep collaboration with Haohan Company; she gained a lot of fame from producing Luo Hongyan's concert, and her future potential was immeasurable.

Only then did Third Uncle start to value them.

Since the New Year was approaching, he came to Lake City early to see them.

This made Li Cuilan feel honored.

After all, Third Uncle was somewhat of a notable person, coming to visit made her naturally joyful.

"Daughter, it's been years since you've seen your Third Uncle, right? Hurry up and pour some tea for your Third Uncle." Li Cuilan said excitedly while also admiring the luxurious environment around, "You're usually quite frugal, but to come to such a place with Qin Feng, and to be served by a hundred people, it must have been Qin Feng who urged you to come here, right?"

"It's not like that; he reserved the restaurant in advance."

Xu Yunxiao hurriedly explained.

At this moment.

To the side, Xu Menghui clapped his hands appreciatively and said teasingly to Qin Feng, "I presume this must be the famous 'Brother Qin', right? Clever move, reserving such a luxurious place in advance to impress a lady, and then letting your own woman foot the bill. Indeed, a clever strategy."

Qin Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "Who do you think you are? Do we need your meddling in our family matters?"

"Heh heh."

Xu Menghui let out a contemptuous laugh, looking down to sip his tea, completely disregarding Qin Feng.

Li Cuilan then called out, "Qin Feng, is that how you should talk? Do you know who he is? He is the top disciple of Yunxiao's Third Uncle!!"
